  • If you're like me, you're wondering why gas prices have been on a steady incline for the past several weeks. Is it cronyism by the Bush administration - an attempt to help family friends get richer? ExxonMobil sure ain…

  • HELLO, MY NAME IS TODD, AND I'M A DORK. Today, as I'm buying popsicles for my incredibly ill roommate at my local grocery mega-chain, I casually breezed over to the express lane, having only one item. Amidst my purchas…

  • Just as I'm wondering how far Atkins-mania will go, The Onion puts it all into perspective for me. The last on this list is my favorite.

  • IF STUPIDITY COULD KILL... ...then George W. would be a mass murderer. This is why I introduce to you the Presidential Match Guide. It'll help you organize what you believe, how strongly you believe it and which candi…

  • SOMETIMES CURIOUSITY DOESN'T KILL... Tonight I succumbed to Cheaper by the Dozen. Its $100 million-plus take at the box office made me think that it couldn't totally suck, though I'd already been proven wrong by applyi…

  • Since Angela, and others, were so amused by the last disgusting item David introduced to me, I thought I'd share a couple more: Following in the illustrious footsteps of A Woman's Guide on How To Pee Standing Up, here…

  • Today was one of those days where I walked outside (in short sleeves), took a moment to appreciate the sun in the sky, and thanked Jebus that I am not in New York right now. Brrrr.

  • AND SOMETIMES I SEE GOOD ONES... I saw Monster yesterday, starring Charlize Theron and Christina Ricci. It's a story about Aileen Wuornos, a homeless prostitute who ended up accused of killing seven men. Theron's perf…

  • MY NAME IS TODD, AND I SEE BAD MOVIES... If you haven't already seen Bad Boys 2, and by the looks of it's box office take, many of you have (for shame!), please do not feel the need to rent or purchase the DVD, which wa…

  • This is Andrew Keegan: The question is, is Andrew straight, or secretly in love with yours truly? I know how I'm voting.

  • If you want to thoroughly depress yourself, go here and find out how long it'll take you to make a million dollars.

  • THE MORE THINGS CHANGE... That old saying seems to ring true in my life, moreso than I'm willing to fess up to right now. What I will say is that "everything happens for a reason" is the copout phrase of the new millen…

  • Through a conversation with a dear friend yesterday, we came up with several alternatives to the pesky notion of employment. I'm not sure that I remember them all, but here are the highlights: Game show contestant …

  • This is possibly the best review of an automobile ever written. It's ridiculously funny.

  • While I remain on the precipice of being fired at my new job, I suppose things could be worse -- at least I'm not a soldier in Iraq. Also, I'm still mystified as to how the world is "safer and better" now that Saddam Hu…

  • YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT KEEPS ME UP AT NIGHT? I don't know why, but injustices in this world make me immeasurably sad. I just realized how trite that comes off sounding, but what I am trying to convey is that I truly tak…

  • Ding dong, my AT&T contract is finally dead. For those of you just tuning in, you might want to read up on my AT&T debacle. Try this, this and this. Also, David wins the award for Friend of the Day. If you're…

  • Unlike Sister Maria, I must've done something bad - something very bad to someone, either in this life, or another one. I don't know how else to explain how my life has gone from zero to shit in such a short span of tim…

  • Am I the only one frustrated with the state of the world? Probably no, but I find myself consumed with it. Why are we going to Mars? Why does the president want to focus on anything but what is happening in his own co…

  • I guess since what happens here, doesn't stay here, I will join in the scrum: A man and woman can get married on a lark, but when a committed gay couple wants to make it legal, they're accused of wrecking the institutio…

  • I know I don't really talk much about myself here, at least not seriously. I'm not one to open up like that, I suppose. I have a lot of walls, and too many people I know - and who know me - have knowledge of this site.…

  • The president has announced that he wants to reinvigorate the space program by sending Americans to Mars. Might I suggest that he be the first?

  • LOST (& FOUND) IN TRANSLATION: Never Lost, but Found Daily: Japanese Honesty By NORIMITSU ONISHIPublished: January 8, 2004, NYTimes.com OKYO, Jan. 7 — Anywhere else perhaps, a shiny cellphone fallen on the backsea…

  • I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF... This morning, I found myself at the center of a raging debate over the apostrophe, and by "raging debate", I mean quiet e-mail discussion. Irregardless, this brought up many g…

  • I don't understand what all the fuss is about with Britney. What happened to "what happens here, stays here"? (You'll need Real One plugin)

  • ON A LESS-SERIOUS NOTE... Here is something fun, yet disturbing, from David, to lighten your day.

  • So there is this contest -- no, not like the one on Seinfeld, this one involves the creation of a 30 second ad about our illustrious leader, George W. Bush, and it's sponsored by MoveOn.org. Some industrious entrant lik…

  • I SEE THEM SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO... This weekend, I treated myself to one of my roommate's many DVDs, Uptown Girls. The best thing I can say about this film is, well there are two things that come to mind; first, that i…

  • This is my new boyfriend, Eli. He plays quarterback for the Ole Miss Rebels (who beat Oklahoma State in the Cotton Bowl yesterday), but soon he'll be playing on Sundays like his big (and less-attractive) brother, Peyt…

  • A little window into my family: My aunt calls to say hello and see how I'm feeling (I have a head cold, and my mother probably told her to check up on me). Sounds normal, no? Here is an approximation of the conversati…
